sorry, no comics today...

...been feeling a little tired lately, not so much physically as much as mentally. i guess there's just been a lot on my mind these days, nothing really coherent though, just a bunch of mixed emotions; looking forward to graduating (fingers crossed), a bit of anxiety/curiosity about the future, a lil "end-of-term stress", along with a hint of melancholy.

i came across this song a couple days ago (haven't heard anything by these guys for a while), and just found that the ambling melody really set me at ease, helped me relax and just allowed me to reflect a little on these past 16 months that i've spent out here in the "wilderness" that is Waterloo...a wilderness that i've grown quite fond of actually, despite the preconceptions that this West Coast alien originally held when he first landed out here.

enjoy...

100 Years:

"I'm 15 for a moment,
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I'm just dreaming,
Counting the ways to where you are...

I'm 22 for a moment,
She feels better than ever
And we're on fire,
Making our way back from Mars...

15 there's still time for you,
Time to buy and time to lose
15, there's never a wish better than this,
When you've only got 100 years to live...

I'm 33 for a moment,
Still the man, but you see I'm a they
A kid on the way,
A family on my mind...

I'm 45 for a moment,
The sea is high
And I'm heading into a crisis,
Chasing the years of my life...

15 there's still time for you,
Time to buy and time to lose yourself
Within a morning star

15 I'm all right with you,
15, there's never a wish better than this
When you've only got 100 years to live...

Half time goes by,
Suddenly you’re wise,
Another blink of an eye,
67 is gone,
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...

I'm 99 for a moment,
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming,
Counting the ways to where you are...

15 there's still time for you,
22 I feel her too,
33 you’re on your way,
Every day's a new day...

15 there's still time for you,
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this,
When you've only got 100 years to live..."

yeah, i'm a sucker for these pensive, cheesy songs eh? haha ;) don't worry if this post seems a lil gloomy, there are still plenty (PLENTY!) of "episodes" left in me yet! ( . )
